IKEA PAX sliding doors are sticking on each other

Hello everyone,

I have now been a happy owner of a Pax for several months. However, since last week I have had a problem with my two sliding doors.

When opening one side, both doors interlocked and can only be pulled apart about 20 cm. After that, it seems that a component is strongly blocking the doors (pulling apart with force did not help). Upon closer inspection, I unfortunately could not discover anything; both doors are still properly in the tracks (the doors can be slid back and forth without any problems). I have adjusted both sides several times and even without the lock I could not separate the doors. Maybe someone has an idea what else I could try.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello, have you also checked downstairs to see if the brackets are still where they belong?

Hello Ikea expert,

I tried, however I couldn't see anything more specific.
But I think that all the rails at the bottom are also OK, nevertheless I will take another look at it.

Best regards

We were able to solve the problem today. After loosening the bottom rail, it was visible that one of the screws on the front door was loose (the screw was not immediately visible because there was padding next to it). By opening the wardrobe, the screw kept rubbing against the back door until it became loose and blocked the door. We could no longer tighten the screw securely, so we have now left it out. The main thing is that the Pax works again.
